Is Funeral Cover Worth the Money Spent?

Is funeral cover worth it in South Africa?

When it comes to preparing for the future, an important question that arises is, ‘Is funeral cover worth it?’ While it is impossible to predict when we will pass away, it is important to consider the financial impact of such an event on our loved ones.

Why Should I Invest in Funeral Cover?

Funeral Cover is an investment that is well worth the money, as it provides the final gift that you can give your loved ones. Even if you are wealthy enough to cover the exorbitant costs of a funeral, having a funeral plan in place gives you the peace of mind that your family can easily do what is necessary when they are at their lowest.

The number one benefit of a Funeral Cover policy is that it is designed to pay claims as quickly as possible, assisting in covering the financial burden posed by even the simplest funeral. In the event of the main member or one of the registered beneficiaries passing away, a pre-determined lump sum of money is paid out to a policyholder or registered beneficiary.

However, it is important to note that there may be restrictions to Funeral Cover policies, such as age limits, waiting periods, and limits on who is covered. It is crucial to ask questions to your intermediary to understand these limitations.

Investing in funeral cover may seem like an added expense, but it is a small price to pay for the security and comfort it provides to your loved ones during their time of need. At Total Risk Administrators, we offer funeral cover policies that provide peace of mind to you and your loved ones.
